This is great with a salad made of romaine, arugula, raspberries, grated carrots and red onion.

1/8 tsp salt
Ingredients before blending. You can see the layer of oil and raspberries in the bullet blender.
Directions:
1. Blend the ingredients in a blender.
2. Pour into a salad dressing bottle or glass jar.
3. Refrigerate; will last from 2 to 3 weeks.
Recipe Tip: Raspberries are tart even when they are very ripe; so you may find that you want to add less lemon juice.
